Clara Colour eReader, 6” Colour E Ink, Waterproof, Black | 6” Colour E Ink Kaleido 3, Dark Mode, Waterproof, eBooks, Audiobooks, 16GB

Lovely size, nice and portable, light to hold. Love that you can highlight in different colours. Screen quality is great, you can choose your preferred font and size too. It's worth noting that it come with OpenDyslexia font installed which I think is brilliant for those with dyslexia or visual stress that can affect ones ability to read. Interface is user friendly, easy to add books, and set up how you want to turn the pages (a variety of options are available). Quite expensive but it does feel like a quality reader.

Absolutely amazing, screen quality is great and the colour screen is incredible, the greyish filter you get on colour screens is barely noticeable

The only negative thing about the Ereader is the price. Apart from that i am extremely happy with it.

First off make sure you buy from Amazon direct to pay the correct price of 139.99 not the inflated price other sellers are offering. Well the colour works rather well though of course the majority of books will still have the same bw text. I actually like the 6 inch size as I find it is easier to hold in my hands rather than the bigger screens and as you can adjust font size then readability is not an issue. What really bugs me about the Kindle (though everything else works fine) is that when you want to expand the Wikipedia info you have to tap the screen. On every Kindle I have had this never works without frustration. Whereas on the Kobo it's just a light press and away you go. I also like the fact that it isn't restricted to the Amazon propriety Mobi or AZW but uses Epub or Kepub and is much better for PDF files than the Kindle. You can also borrow direct from your library with Overdrive which is pretty nifty. Listen Kindles are fine but its nice to have alternatives and Kobo should be congratulated on bringing out a colour model that works really well.

I bought this at a time when the Kobo Clara BW and Colour were at the same price, and I think I would have been happier with the BW, because I hardly use the colour feature (I get to see text highlights and book covers in colour, which isn't that important to my reading experience) but in low light conditions the colour screen needs the backlight to be turned on while in the same lighting conditions my Kindle Paperwhite (a black and white e-reader) is perfectly readable without use of the backlight. If Kobo were to update the firmware with a landscape reading mode for ebooks, maybe a photo display mode (so I could transfer a collection of jpg files to my kobo and look at them) and even a mp3 player mode (so I could listen to music through the same bluetooth headphones I have to use for audiobooks) then that would improve the product.

Can’t get over how tiny it is! It would probably fit in a jeans pocket. It’s not as good quality as kindles but I really like it! Is it slow and glitchy in that the images almost load before your eyes yes however it’s a fab little device! I would recommend just don’t expect it to be like a £200 kindle!

As the title says really: It's a great little e-reader with a colour function. The thing to keep in mind though is that the colour can only really be called 'a nice touch' To me, it's the same shade of colour and texture I used to see on cheap news print (kind of a washed out water colour on cheap paper) and as such has a certain charm left over from paper books. For visually pleasing book colours, illustrative diagrams, this is a great improvement. If however you're after for something to match a decent quality tablet/phone and those rich, vibrant colours, this is NOT for you, at least not if colour is important part. I was looking to buy a new e-reader and the colour version was out at the same time by coincidence so I'm really happy with this. However, I wouldn't recommend you go out and replace a reader you're already happy with solely on the basis of colour covers. In itself, I don't personally think it's a feature worth buying a whole device for. But, if you have the money and want a new toy... You could certainly do worse.

Many profanities would explain why I need to send a 3rd internet ereader back for a refund. I'm genuinely looking for something like a classic Kindle. I have never had trouble with a kindle device regardless of content. because I found I enjoyed Playbook, Kobo, and Kindle. But the devices which allow these are not capable of an literal physical functioning. The screens are not suitable or fit to read, both on a B/W meboox and on a colour Kobo. So tell me why an older non various system internet ebook can handle smooth transition, because those devices which do have more transition have brighter screens. Which is allowed because the corporations which make them aren't filling them with junk to use all of an inadequate battery up. So if the advert tells you fantastic revolutionary e'ink. It basically meant the device is so rammed with over exertion that the screen the battery the brightness can't handle it and as a result this freezes the whole device. So I'm afraid I have to return yet another ereader. I tell you when this £145 item arrives. And it's out the box. It's like a cheap Kinda Surprise toy. It really is an over priced piece of junk. But the Kobo app in itself is much appreciated. As with phone networks. The network and the retail shops selling the phones are NOT owned by the same corporation. And I think Kobo are being done..Had.... As we say in England. Next I'm going to try a Lenovo smart paper. Which I'm getting USED. not from Amazon because it's more than the one on another site. Even though I know I'm just paying for essentially a half penny stencilled on white LENOVO sticker on the device. Upping the price to £450 or there around. For something that STILL isn't what I'm looking for. I would love a kindle with other apps. But I know this isn't Amazon's plan. Unless we all suddenly want one if they suddenly manufacture them.

Top apparaat. Wilde eerst niet aan de e-reader maar ben nu om!

I was humming and haring about this purchase, but it was worth every penny love it!

Io prima non leggevo mai, non avevo l'abitudine di prendere un libro e mettermi a leggere, così ho pensato di prendere un ereader per vedere se la cosa mi invogliava di più. Dopo tanta indecisione se comprare un Kobo o uno della concorrezza più famosa, ho deciso di prendere questo perchè ritengo abbia molti ma molti più vantaggi. Primi tra tutti: la libertà totale di importare libri in estrema semplicità, di evidenziare a colori, aggiungere note, aggiungere parole nuove al vocabolario ecc.. Adesso praticamente leggo ogni giorno e non salto un appuntamento, nel giro di 1 settimana ho letto almeno 35ore (c'è una sezione che tiene traccia delle statistiche in generale e per ogni libro) e sto leggendo 3 libri contemporaneamente senza nessuna difficoltà. Fantastica anche l'opzione "instapaper" che non conoscevo affatto, che consente di salvare articoli presi magari dal web mentre siete al pc (grazie ad una estensione chrome) e leggerli poi sul Kobo. I colori li trovo molto belli ed in un certo senso trovo sia molto meglio che non siano proprio vivaci e ultra definiti come possono essere quelli su cellulari e televisioni.. Più o meno sono più colori pastello ma sono molto belli. E' veramente leggerissimo da tenere in mano ed eventualmente si può leggere anche da sdraiati tenendolo facilmente con una mano sola visto che è anche molto maneggevole. Io lo stra-consiglio ovviamente a quelli che sono già lettori ma soprattutto ai NON lettori!

My second purchase for my niece. Strongly recommend getting this if you are in Singapore using NLB resources. The fact that this device is connects to Singapore's NLB ebooks already indicates the necessity to have this. Color is real and warm. It really elevates the reading experience. I like a stand alone device as it keeps kids honest about what they are doing on the ipad. Also, ipad's color may not gentle on the eye. Contrast to Kindle... Sometimes i tend to accidently press the button at the bottom and sleeps it. Clara's button is at the back where your finger will normally rest holding the device. and that helps....

Un salto de calidad increíble. Ver las portadas de los libros y los cómics en color es una maravilla. La pantalla es muy nítida y la luz ajustable es perfecta para leer de noche sin cansar la vista. Es ligero, rápido y la batería dura semanas. ¡Súper recomendado!
